It's one of the reasons that I'm fond of things like the Skeptic perk mentioned earlier, or the Thresholds from Christopher R. Rice's 'Safe as Houses' article (
Pyramid Vol 3 #58, pp4-10): Imagine them as evolved defences against paranormal horrors, and they make a lot of sense, and fit well in this sort of thread. One might also imagine that various animals and other lifeforms evolved such defences, which is why it's important to pay attention if e.g. your cat suddenly starts staring at apparently nothing, and hisses.
